Redskins’ Barry Cofield: ‘No guarantee that we win another game,’ season ‘could get historically ugly’

After starting 3-1, the Washington Redskins have lost their last five by a combined 115-53 score, and things won’t get any easier over the final seven games of the season. The Redskins host the Cowboys on Sunday before facing the Jets, Patriots, Giants and Eagles in their final seven contests.

The abundance of losses has particularly taken a toll on defensive lineman Barry Cofield, who signed a six-year, $36 million deal with the Redskins in July after playing his first five seasons with the Giants.

Following a 20-9 loss to a 1-7 Dolphins team last Sunday, Cofield didn’t sound optimistic about the remainder of the season.

“There’s no guarantee that we can win another game,” Cofield told The Washington Post. “We just don’t have a team on our schedule that’s just going to lay down and you know, let us beat them.

“If we don’t play better, there’s no reason to expect to win any games. The ball’s not going to just bounce our way. It could get very ugly. It could get historically ugly. Hopefully, guys are fearful of that, and hopefully, guys focus in and just come together and do whatever it takes to get a win. If we don’t, it’s going to be a very long winter.”

As a member of the Giants, Cofield was never on a losing team. New York twice finished 8-8 but also won a Super Bowl with the 6-4, 305-pounder on its roster.
